英文名称 Introduction to Earth Sciences (Earth System Science)
先修课程
中文简介 地球是迄今已知唯一存续生命的星球,形成以来一直是一个充满活力的动力系统,来自地球内部和太阳辐射能量维持这个动力系统持续的运转。这是地球科学的入门教学课程,试图让修课同学具备上知天、下知地、天地之间明事理的科学素养和能力。课程立足系统科学思想,以地球与地球科学(重点在科学,有别于方法和技术)介绍入手,从固体地球的矿物、岩石(矿产)组成,地壳与岩石圈及板块构造(地球动力学),火山(热),地震(波),地貌(盆山和均衡),到流体地球的大气(风暴气旋),海洋(海啸洋流),水循环(相转变),再到地球的天文空间环境(光、引力与空间维),特别是地球的时间轴(同位素年代学、时间科学)和地球生命故事的教学,结合具有灵魂之问的“我们从哪里来”野外教学,完整地向初识地球科学的同学献上地球科学的启蒙教学,为后续学习进阶打下基础。课程即有通识的普及性,又具有专业的针对性;既适合有志于地球科学、环境科学相关学科的入门,也适合相关工学(农学、军事学、能源、土木建筑学、工程学、材料科学、信息技术等)、人文、社科和医学等学科作为拓展知识和终身学习的基础铺垫。课程强调趣味、科学和知识的系统特色,教学素材丰富,图片案例精美,思辨逻辑性强,以求达成生动活泼地教与学,潜移默化地实现修课同学知识内容的广博深入和知识架构的优化,为后续课程学习打下坚实基础。
英文简介 Introduction
Earth has long been known as the unique planet with life in the Solar System,and the interaction between its internal energy and the solar energy has been driving the flow of matter so that Earth has been a truly dynamic system of energy and matter with a few interconnected and interrelated subsystems such as atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere surrounding solid Earth and lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, and core within solid Earth. The movement of mater in individual subsystems and physical, chemical, and biological interaction between the subsystems are responsible for geological processes, making the birth of life on Earth and the present-day Earth. This course comprises following five parts: An outline of Earth System, Subsystems of Earth. Dynamic Erath, Historical Earth, and Research Methods in Earth System Science, which are designed to include concepts in Earth System Science and geological processes operating on and within Earth, especially in the view of interaction of climate and tectonic systems. All of these are fundamental to the first-year undergraduates in Earth Sciences.

教学大纲 The spectacular eruption of a volcano, the magnificent scenery of a rocky coast, the extinction and evolution of life, and the destruction created by a hurricane are all subjects for an Earth scientist. The study of Earth science deals with many fascinating and practical questions about our environment. What forces produce mountains? Why is our daily weather variable? Is climate really changing? How old is Earth, and how is our planet related to the other planets in the solar system? What causes ocean tides? What was the Ice Age like? Will there be another? Can a successful well be located at a particular site?

The subject of this course is Earth science. To understand Earth is not an easy task because our planet is not a static and unchanging mass. Rather, it is a dynamic body with many interacting parts and a long and complex history.
